Donna needs a specialist standing frame - help us make it happen
A specialist standing frame would give Donna independence - we're $2,850 away.
🇺🇸 United States3,636 views
Donna lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at San Francisco General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a specialist standing frame. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,850.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Donna could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• specialist standing frame: $2,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $450
• Delivery and set-up: $85
• First-year servicing plan: $165
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
